- Caitlin 'Kate' Todd: Is that Dornan's surgeon with Ducky?
- Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Ducky's older, Kate. Not dead.
- Anthony DiNozzo: You don't really expect me to take advice about women from you, do you?
- Timothy McGee: Well, I could stay here and argue the point, but I have a date.
- Caitlin 'Kate' Todd: What's going to happen?
- Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Nothing. You did everything by the book.
- Caitlin 'Kate' Todd: I killed an innocent man, Gibbs!
- Leroy Jethro Gibbs: It was suicide-by-cop, Kate. Get over it!
- Anthony DiNozzo: [as Gibbs arrives at the hospital] Looks like you and I were the only ones flying solo last night, McGee.
- Timothy McGee: Speak for yourself.
- Timothy McGee: What am I missing?
- Caitlin 'Kate' Todd: Paula Cassidy is a rather attractive agent that DiNozzo drooled all over last year when we were at Gitmo.
- Anthony DiNozzo: Enough talk, Agent Todd.
- [uses his mouth spray]
- Anthony DiNozzo: Let's go.
- Commander Janice Byers: Ducky?
- Dr. Donald 'Ducky' Mallard: Yes, it was something I was tagged with in school in my youth. I used to resent it. Now I quite like it.
- Commander Janice Byers: So do I.
- Jimmy Palmer: [after Ducky talks to his patient] Does it help you to - talk to them?
- Dr. Donald 'Ducky' Mallard: Well, they're still human. But what we do is so invasive, and impersonal. It helps me to establish a relationship.
- Dr. Donald 'Ducky' Mallard: I thought I'd show her something that revealed who I am. If she gets turned on, we haven't wasted our time.
- Abby Sciuto: You're the man, Ducky... Why can't I find a man like you?
- Dr. Donald 'Ducky' Mallard: Well, if this doesn't work out, I *am* available.
- [Gibbs introduces Dr. Janice Byers to Ducky, who removes his hat, smiles, and is tongue-tied]
- Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Dr. Mallard is a man of few words.
- Abby Sciuto: And the spectrometer found minute traces of antimony sulfide and potassium chlorate on both.
- Timothy McGee: Matches.
- Abby Sciuto: Light my fire, McGee!
- Caitlin 'Kate' Todd: Why are you being so tough on Agent Cassidy?
- Leroy Jethro Gibbs: I didn't do anything to her, yet.
- Caitlin 'Kate' Todd: You made her spend the day alone... with DiNozzo.
- Leroy Jethro Gibbs: She survived... They're on their way back.
- Leroy Jethro Gibbs: You a law student?
- Spenser: Second year Georgetown.
- Leroy Jethro Gibbs: I'm going to give you a lesson tonight in *practical* law. I'm going to ask for Hayes's room key. *Politely.* And you're going to hand it over.
- Spenser: Key? Hotels haven't used keys in years
- [Gibbs groans]
- Caitlin 'Kate' Todd: If he has to wake a judge, *nobody* is going to be happy.
- Spenser: [hands them the key. Gibbs and Todd leave] Okay, but announce yourself first. That's in compliance with the recent Supreme Court decision.
- Special Agent Paula Cassidy: Agent Gibbs, I need to explain...
- Leroy Jethro Gibbs: There's nothing to explain, Agent Cassidy! You didn't file a report. And now two Naval Officers are *dead*. Would it have mattered? We'll *never* know!
- [last lines]
- Leroy Jethro Gibbs: You can't let any woman affect you like this, Duck. Especially one you didn't know that well.
- Dr. Donald 'Ducky' Mallard: Well, my concerns are more immediate. I have two tickets for the opera tonight. She was going to accompany me. Jethro?
- Leroy Jethro Gibbs: No.
- Dr. Donald 'Ducky' Mallard: I wonder if Kate would be interested. Do you know where she is?
- Anthony DiNozzo: No.
- Abby Sciuto: Stop playing with my equipment!
- Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Wow, I haven't had a woman say that to me in a long time.
- Dr. Donald 'Ducky' Mallard: [as Dr. Byers arrives] We were finished here, weren't we, Jethro.
- Leroy Jethro Gibbs: [long pause. Gibbs notices Ducky's interest in Byers] Oh, we were, Ducky.
- Jimmy Palmer: [as he's putting the body away] I have to lock you up for the night, Commander.
- Abby Sciuto: [lowering her voice] No don't put me back in the dark!
- Jimmy Palmer: [turning around] *Abby*! You made me almost... I...
- Abby Sciuto: Made you almost what,
- [lowering her voice again]
- Abby Sciuto: Jimmy?
- Jimmy Palmer: You know what.
- [first lines]
- Nurse Dooley: Tell me he's asleep.
- Navy Corpsman: Dr. Byers saw to that. Gave him Percocet before she left.
- Nurse Dooley: If I were her and he called me in at two in the morning, I would have killed him.
- Anthony DiNozzo: [to teenager caught partying in hotel room] Nobody likes a whiner, Jonathon. Nice shirt.
